MCAS Sasebo Japan Construction 2014-2015

The Department of the Navy Installations Command awarded this Master IDIQ for design-build and design-bid-build construction services at U.S. Marine Corps installations in Japan on May 22, 2014, with ordering authority ending May 21, 2019. Ordering closed seven years ago. The vehicle is now inactive and exhausted—all $93 million in combined potential value across 50 task orders has been obligated, with the most recent order issued May 20, 2019.

Competition was heavily concentrated. Two Japanese construction firms—Nippo Corporation and American Engineering Corporation—captured the entire market, splitting $87.8 million of the $93 million total: Nippo held 21 orders worth $48.5 million combined potential value, while American Engineering held 27 orders worth $39.3 million. Johnson Controls, K.K. received one order for $5.2 million, and Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd. received one order for $3 thousand. All 50 task orders were awarded without set-aside designations.

Customer concentration was moderate. The Marine Corps funded 24 orders valued at $43.3 million combined potential value (roughly 47 percent), with Navy Installations Command funding 14 orders at $32 million (34 percent) and Naval Facilities Engineering Command funding 12 orders at $17.8 million (19 percent).

Task-order values ranged from $3 thousand minimum guarantees to mega-orders exceeding $7 million—examples include a whole-house revitalization at Monzen townhouses phase 3 for $6.359 million, repair of North Side Mess Hall building 1562 for $7.001 million, and repair of buildings 1651 and 1636 at CFAS Sasebo for $4.455 million. Most orders were firm-fixed-price with durations typically 12–24 months from award through final completion extension. Work concentrated at U.S. Fleet Activities Sasebo and Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, spanning HVAC replacement, roofing repair, facility demolition, steam-system upgrades, electrical infrastructure modernization, and building envelope restoration.
